Selenium API - Waiting for Page Elements

Implicitly wait :

Wait for a certain amount of time before throwing an exception that it cannot find the element on the page. Implicit waits will be in place for the entire time the browser is open. This means that any search for elements on the page could take the time the implicit wait is set for.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Sleep command :

thread.sleep(1000);

Setting script time out;

driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(100,SECONDS)

Page load timeout:

driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(100, SECONDS);

ExpectedConditions Command

Models a condition that might reasonably be expected to eventually evaluate to something that is neither null nor false.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(>someid>)))

FluentWait Command

Purpose: Each FluentWait instance defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a condition, as well as the frequency with which to check the condition. Furthermore, the user may configure the wait to ignore specific types of exceptions whilst waiting, such as NoSuchElementExceptionswhen searching for an element on the page.

  // for its presence once every 5 seconds.

 

  Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)

 

    .withTimeout(30, SECONDS)

 

    .pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)

 

    .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

 

  WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function() {

 

    public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {

 

    return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
